How To Make Our No Bake Thin Mint Ritz Cracker Cookies Recipe:

Begin by lining a cookie sheet with wax peper or parchment paper for the cookies to rest on. 

Then take the chocolate and put it in a medium microwave-safe dish and place it in the microwave for 60 seconds for the first time and then 30 second intervals after that stirring the chocolate in between each time in the microwave, until the chocolate is nice and smooth.

After the chocolate has melted down completely, stir in the ½ teaspoon of mint extract until it is well combined. 

Then carefully dip your Ritz Crackers into the melted mint chocolate using a fork to lift the cracker from the chocolate and tapping off any excess of chocolate. 

Once the cookies have been dipped, place them on the wax or parchment paper to set up. 

Here is where you need to either top the cookies with your favorite toppings before the chocolate dries, or leave the cookies plain.

Don’t worry, they will be delicious either way! 

To Make Our No Bake Cookies You Will Need:

1. Medium microwave-safe bowl
2. Fork or dipping spoon (one of THESE tools will work great!)
3. Wax or parchment paper

What is the Difference Between Chocolates?

Chocolates can differ so much from one to the next. You might not have thought there was much difference between dipping chocolate and milk chocolate chips, but in reality they both were invented for different purposes. 

Melting or dipping chocolates are meant for that, dipping things in the chocolate. It tends to melt easier and is smooth. However milk chocolate chips are meant to withstand the temperatures of an oven so they take a bit more to melt them down to dipping consistency. 

Cook’s give you a great run down of the different types of chocolate and how to use them! Give it a look and you might be surprised by what you read. 

Toppings for Thin Mint Cookies

1. Crushed up candy canes
2. Crushed oreo
